{CLOSED}[PACKAGE REQUEST] Focalprint fprint fork package

Can someone make this unofficial fprint fork an AUR package? There's already a PKGBUILD done by someone here(please be sure to give proper credit). I'd like to do it myself but I'm not familiar with fprint or have the maintenance skills required for this particular fork. Thank you so much!

umm did you search the AUR first to see if a package like that was already in the repo?

Yes and there's only one focaltech package there but that's another fprint driver by the developers who also made this one.

Anyone interested still? I'm slowly working on a PKGBUILD(which I'd be happy to handover) although I don't feel qualified to maintain it, since I don't own a focaltech device and despite research I'm not completely sure if this specific driver is provided through one of the other focaltech pkgs.
